Standards
PCI DSS provides a baseline of technical and operationalrequirements designed to protect account data. While specifically designed to focus on environments with payment card account data, PCIDSS can also be used to protect against threats and secure other elements in the payment ecosystem.
APIs expose application logic and sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and because of this, APIs have increasingly become a target for attackers. Without secure APIs, rapid innovation would be impossible.
